The Bartlett is University College London's school of architecture and it has been offering architectural education since 1841. It offers courses at a range of qualification levels from a Bachelor of Science in Architecture to a Ph.D. in Architectural Design.
Courses are designed to prepare students for professional life. For example, completion of the B.Sc. in architecture leads to exemption from Part 1 of the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) examinations. The Bartlett is particularly renowned for its Graduate Diploma in Architecture, which, according to the school's website, "has achieved international recognition for its innovative and challenging approach to architectural education."

Cambridge University is often ranked in the top five in the world both in terms of research and teaching practices by reputable rankings associations. Architecture is studied in the Department of Architecture, which is part of the Faculty of Architecture and History of Art.
Uniquely, the department offers a "BA Tripos," which combines both arts and sciences. Here 60 percent of the grade is through studio work and 40 percent is exams and other course work. The course is demanding and students are expected to work during their winter and Easter breaks. Parts one, two and three of the ARB and RIBA qualifications can all be studied through the department.
